When to Use Sika Primers

Knowing when to use Sikaflex primers will ensure optimal results for your projects. Consider using these primers in the following scenarios:

1. Preparing Surfaces: Before applying adhesives or sealants to ensure surfaces are clean and ready for bonding.
2. Improving Adhesion: On difficult substrates like plastics, metals, and coated surfaces where enhanced adhesion is required.
3. Protecting Bonding Faces: On porous materials or substrates prone to stress cracking to form a protective layer.

How to Apply Sikaflex Primers

Proper application of Sika primers ensures their effectiveness. Follow these steps for optimal results:

• Clean the Surface: Remove all contaminants such as dust, oil, and grease.
• Apply the Primer: Use a brush or applicator pad to apply an even coat of the primer.
• Allow Flash-Off Time: Refer to the specific primer's guidelines for the appropriate flash-off time before applying adhesives.
• Test the Bonding: Conduct preliminary tests to ensure compatibility and adhesion, especially on new or unknown substrates.
